The New Bedside Companion

Philips has taken the photo frame multiplied it by five, and added voice message capability, a radio and alarm clock. Alas, it ends up doing none of the above terribly well. With no card slots or Wi-fi, you can transfer up to 20 pictures to the meagre memory via USB. You can then try to view them as slide show on screens so tiny and low resolution, you’d never see it if you have myopia, and looking at it without wearing your glasses in the morning. Family members can record poor-quality voice messages to go with the pics. Quite neat, if your living in outer Mongolia or somewhere and want to hear your mum’s voice when you wake up.

Twentieth April 1999, marked a very black day at Columbines- 2 of their own felling a dozen innocent lives and one dedicated teacher. The town still unable to come to grips and unable to erase horrific scenes from their mind, even though ten years have passed-it is certainly extremely painful to watch children nipped in the bud- held a candle-lit vigil at the Littleton Park, laying flowers along the memorial built for the departed beloved ones.The school will remain closed on Monday and a memorial service will take place later in the day. The Columbine massacre as it is referred to today, has restarted the debate on gun-ownership laws in the US.

A close monitor of the plant cycle events gives us an idea of how nature changes to the climate in very season. For example blooming of flowers, trees filled with bright green leaves confirms the spring season. But to supervise the changes worldwide with the limited number of ecologist does not bring adequate results. So, many number of non-scientists also known as citizen scientists are called for this work. National Phenology Network, an organization launched by a group of scientists, wherein they launched a new program Project BudBurst. The program engaged scientists and non-scientists to gather information on the life cycle of various plants in US from corner to corner. A non-scientists appointment in this project is open to all, with or without the knowledge about plants.

Knowledge And Development

There is a virtuous equation between knowledge and development. It is a known fact that only knowledge can lead to development in any society. There is consciousness among the people about the complexities of the world. There is a growing need for change in our understanding about the interdependence of phenomena, uncertainty and the predictable and unpredictable results of our actions. There are three key aspects that should be considered while studying the relationship structure between knowledge and development. Firstly new methods have to be encouraged, secondly when creating development policies there should be link between research and policy, third and finally there should be ethical consideration of social interventions also.

Fuel Addiction

Well the topic says much more than the content, but it’s an undeniable truth we are addicted to these fossil fuels, and without it we believe we are incapable of doing anything. Now is it really, but it may be true because to control such a huge population and meet the demands of all of us we really need the energy given by these invaluable fuels. But I say we would do much better without them, think of all the benefits rather than the negatives. If there is no fuel to run our toxic contraptions called vehicles we all will be forced to walk, bicycle, or use any other type of transport that requires our physical input. If such a thing comes you will never be able to see another obese person in your life again, which will in turn save many lives from diseases and without all those engines running the only sound you will be able to hear is the chirping of birds and the only air you will be ever breathing will be the cool breeze from trees. When fuel finally ends global warming will reduce, more species of plants and animals will begin to emerge, numerous diseases due to pollution will be prevented, obvious nations can fight each other no more so many lives will be saved, the atmosphere will change back to its original state and altogether the whole of Earth will be restored to old beauty. But at the end it will be one hell of a lot boring but let’s see the benefits and at least try to be happy about it and be proud we have successfully come out of one addiction.

admin — Mon, 18 May 2009 10:57:37 +0000

Foreign aid only strengthens the existing condition or state of affairs. It does not shape the government to the interests of the anti democratic process. Poverty is the number one world issue but the aid does not reach the hungry. The beneficiary government response only to the privileged minority or foreign corporation and prepare for the forces working against them.
